You folks that have installed the black plastic Corvette LT1 fuel rail covers on your f-bodies, I have a question:

I ordered a set from Scoggin-Dickey about a week ago. Also ordered the 4 mount bolts. Haven't recieved them yet. Anyway, just wondering how much plastic needed to be cut away from them to make them work on an f-body? Big pain the the ***? I just removed the TCS from the car. That big plastic box with it's TCS motor sitting above the engine would certainly be in the way.

Don't see too many f-bodies with these covers. I seem to see more Impala SS cars with them.

Also, any pics would be nice.

Thanks,
Ron

I used the instructions on the 2nd page for mine b/c I didn't wana cut off the end of the emblem. It was REALLY easy to do as long as you have a dremel tool. It dresses up the engine compartment nicely especially if you also do the valve covers as well. If you're interested, I can email you pics (just drop me an email) I also got a Mid America catalog and filled in the part of the fuel rail covers that say 'Corvette' with white lettering to match my car.

 

where did you buy these from?

 

I'll move this to the Appearance Section...

 

"It dresses up the engine compartment nicely especially if you also do the valve covers as well."

Well, I purchased a set of GM center bolt chrome valve covers too. Although these valve covers are heavier than some of the cheap aftermarket chrome covers available, there is one problem I see with them: I wanted to use the stock plastic screw-in type oil fill cap. These covers don't have the screw threads cut into them like the stock black steel covers, so I need to find a push-in type aftermarket cap.
